No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to see if the research team can successfully recruit participants and carry out study related procedures in Sri Lanka. This will help the research team plan and execute a future large-scale trial in Sri Lanka.

The secondary objective is to assess whether a polypill for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (a type of heart condition) may help patients adhere to medications without an increase in serious adverse events.

An exploratory objective is to understand the process of implementation.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, intervention or usual care. The intervention group will be given four guideline-recommended medications for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, combined in one over-encapsulated pill, with three dose strength options (at the discretion of their treating physician). Both groups will be observed over 4-weeks of follow-up to assess their medication adherence, clinical symptoms, laboratory measures, health related quality of life, and need for medication adjustment amongst other measures.

Conditions

  • Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Interventions

DRUG

HFrEF Polypill

The heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) polypill will include 4 guideline recommended medications used to treat HFrEF patients. The dose of initiation and titration will be at the investigator's discretion. HFrEF polypill strength 1: bisoprolol 2.5 mg + losartan 25 mg + eplerenone 25 mg + dapagliflozin 10 mg; HFrEF polypill strength 2: bisoprolol 5 mg + losartan 50 mg + eplerenone 25 mg + dapagliflozin 10 mg; HFrEF polypill strength 3: bisoprolol 10 mg + losartan 100 + eplerenone 50 mg + dapagliflozin 10 mg

OTHER

Comparator Arm

Participants in the comparator control group will receive usual care by their healthcare providers. Providers will be encouraged to treat all participants according to international and local clinical practice guidelines.
